I think Bishop Gracida needs to re-read the MP. It says that the READINGS, i.e., Epistle and Gospel, can be in approved vernacular. That is ALL it says, and there is no basis for the claim that changes made after the 1962 missal was published are in fact part of that missal. He is apparently approving 1964 hybrid masses, which I have to think are expressly forbidden by the 1962 missal.

There is no "1964 hybrid Mass". The Bishop is speaking of a 1964 American missal that is the 1962 missal containing vernacular translations of some of the Ordinary and Propers. This missal was supplanted in less than a year by the 1965 Missal introduced by the decree "Inter Oecumenici". That's the missal that eliminated Psalm 42 and the Last Gospel, and reduced the communion formula to "Corpus Christi. Amen."
